Abstract
The synthesis of ultrafine hydroxyapatite powders using radio frequency (RF) suspension plasma spraying (SPS) was studied. Quantitative phase determination of multiphases in hydroxyapatite powders was also analyzed using conventional x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) quantitative phase analysis (QPA) and Rietveld analysis. The Rietveld QPA showed that decomposition decreased at higher power to give way to more amorphous formation. The analysis also showed that the results from the conventional QPA were only rough estimates and should not be used when substantial amorphous content was present.
